  • 2011 Nicolas Rossignol Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches

    Medium ruby. Tart cherry and light char. Woody base. Fairly ripe and spicy with a menthol note and good tangy acidity.

  • 2010 Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay 1er Cru

    Medium deep red. Floral, red fruited aromatics. Delicate red fruit, anise and chocolate. Lively acidity, some tannin to resolve. Very elegant, nice fruit offset by a dash of herbs.

  • 2011 Domaine de L'Arlot Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos des Forêts St. Georges

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru

    Dark color. Heavy char on the nose with black fruit. Chunky, almost heavy feel. Cocoa powder and black fruit-very primary and simple now. Chewy tannins. This seems both overextracted and overoaked.

  • 2010 Domaine Jean Grivot Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Roncières

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru

    The lightest wine of the bunch. Game and soil aromatics. Light weight, some distant faded red fruit. Not completely clean and hardly appealing in terms of its current mouth feel. This does have develop nicer fragrance and is the earthy, subtle side of Nuits. What a difference compared to the modern, made up style of the Arlot.

  • 2010 Domaine Pierre Gelin Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Prieur

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru

    Ruby. Brambly and a bit musty. Medium weight. Candied red fruit admixed with earth in a very attractive fashion. Nice bright acidity cuts through the ripe fruit without shortening the finish. I like the balance and the cut of this wine, which strikes me as typical Gevrey.

  • 2009 Domaine Lignier-Michelot Clos de la Roche

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru

    Medium ruby. Dark fruit and green herbs comprise the nose. Medium to full bodied, concentrated and mouth coating. Fruit is ripe but mute at this point and there is a whiff of green herbs. Not a lot of complexity or vivacity in the mouth, but this could conceivably improve over time. Grand Cru in size only at this juncture.
